NOTES: This is the first time since the start of the three division era that the two LCS series have each matched the two best records in their league (96-66). Computer baseball sim Imagine Sports/Diamond Mind Baseball ran the 2007 ALCS 1,000 times, and the Red Sox won 59% of the time. If the Red Sox won game 1, they won the series 72.5% of the time, and if Cleveland won, the Indians won 59% of the time.

From ESPN Gamecast Chat:

Travis (Virginia Beach): OMG...I’m going to grab my ankles and kiss my butt goodbye. The end of the world is upon us...Drew, Crisp and Lugo are all on base...at the same time!!

The managers are constantly working the stats.
They can project and do stuff we wouldn’t.

I still say Lasorda ruined Valenzuela though...

It would be nice to see the end of the order help put up some insurance runs.

When not hitting, hit it to the pitcher, especially major league pitchers, they as a group, field their position like blind mice.

However, Beckett shows me he can field his.

Martinez passed ball, run scores. The wheels are coming off
the wagon for the Tribe. Ticket holders for game 6
at Fenway, you’ll get to use ‘em after all (barring
a collapse..)
5-1

With those guys all on base at the same time, it feels like I’m living in an alternate reality.
